🇬🇧 Yuka's Vision 🦊💭🌤️

(4/4) The sun had already risen confidently above the horizon when Misato and Yuka began descending the winding path from the Miyama mountain peak 🏔️ The air here was fresh and crystal clear, and somewhere below, between the thick canopies of trees, the first thatched roofs of a nearby village were already visible 🏠🌿 — How are you feeling, Yuka? — Misato asked, holding her long attire so as not to trip over roots. She tried to speak cheerfully, though the night's events still echoed with anxiety in her heart. — The sleep was heavy, but you look as if you’ve finally rested 🦊✨ Yuka gave a little hop in place, and her tails swayed gently 🌸 — You know, it's strange, but I feel just wonderful! Like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Only... my stomach is reminding me that we haven't eaten for an eternity 😅🥨 — Oh, we'll fix that soon, — Misato smiled. — Kind people live in this village. I’m sure they’ll be happy to treat us to a hot breakfast as soon as they see us 🍵🥯 They walked on, and the conversation naturally turned to that same strange dream Yuka had seen 🌳🍃 — … Misato, I’ve been thinking about that light... — Yuka began, her voice becoming quieter but more confident. — An image remained in my memory: bright rays, and within them a shadow speaking in an unknown language. Around us, there was nothing but this infinite void. But at the last moment, as I began to fall through, the shadow grabbed my hand... I felt him. It was him, my beloved ❤️‍🔥 Yuka stopped for a moment and gently touched the ruby around her neck 🤲 ✨💎❤️ — He said only one thing to me that I could understand: "Keep the pendant and wait a little longer. I will return soon..."✨ I will definitely wait for him, Misato. Now I know for sure — he is out there somewhere. Misato looked at her newly-found friend, and the scenes of the night’s crimson and that cold voice that had terrified her into silence flashed through her mind again 🌘🌑 "How can this bright soul be combined with that?" — she thought, looking at Yuka's peaceful face — "How can she love someone so devotedly who created this… And who is this Plague Doctor, anyway?" 🤔🛡️🟥 But Misato kept these thoughts to herself 🐾🦊💭 She didn't want to break this fragile moment of happiness 🤫 — I hope the wait won’t be long, — the goddess replied softly, touching Yuka’s shoulder encouragingly. — But for now — let’s hurry, because I’m already starting to catch the scent of fresh cakes from the other side of the slope! 🥯😋
